According to a recent press release, “A leading provider of intuitive data integration solutions for use by business users and IT professionals alike, Astera Software has made their first foray into cloud-based products. The newly-released Customer Portal is powered by the Centerprise ETL engine and provides a completely automated platform to submit, track, and integrate partner data at scale. A business may receive numerous data files from partners or customers every day, which can make data quality verification, filetype compliance, and file status tracking for workflow integration a huge hassle. File-based data exchanges need to be fast, reliable, and secure for transfers, especially on large-scale operations. Customer Portal eliminates manual verification, while streamlining the process with advanced file tracking and reporting features. Data validation is automatically performed by the Centerprise engine.”

The release goes on, “The Astera Cloud Customer Portal was developed based on customer feedback. One of the most common pain points from Astera users were issues from trying to deal with partner data using manual data entry and traditional file exchange channels. The Astera team set to work, and the result was a completely automated solution for partner data exchange and ingestion. With the launch of the cloud-based Customer Portal, Astera now plans to expand the Astera Cloud product suite. For more information about the Customer Portal, click here.”
